Layers of vocabulary

Stylistics as a linguistic discipline studies expressive and figurative means of the language inter-relations between the content and form of the text functional styles of the language.
The central category is functional style which can be characterized as a unity of language means chosen and arrangeв in such a way as to serve some particular purpose in the process of speech communication opposed to other such unities fulfilling
Stylistics is closely connected with all other branches of linguistics. Like lexicology it studies vocabulary, like grammar it analyses morphological forms and syntactic structures, like phonology – sounds and their combination. Unlike them it analyses only those lexical, grammar means that have stylistic coloring either in hearing or under certain contextual conditions.
